This novel is the PRIME example of “I laughed, I cried, I learned.”
Despite some minor self-publishing errors, I knew I was in for a literary journey when I saw Quan Mills’s TikTok about this first chapter; however, I was NOT expecting an emotional journey as well as the social commentary. I’m not privy to the world of “urban pulp fiction” as Millz calls it, but this seemed like if the Boondocks was in book format. I did think once or twice, “Can I laugh?” But Lord I did not expect a lump in my throat. Well played Mr. Millz, well played.

Surprisingly decent read. I thought it would be a goofy book about a girl with roaches at her apartment but it was truly more than that.

This was suggested to me in a conversation about romcom books and erotica so I wrongly assumed it was one of those. This is by no needs a happy book. There is kind of a HEA but it was not satisfactory but then neither is real life for some people.

surprising commentary on family court system and incarceration but also really ridiculous at times

Well… I certainly thought there’d be more roaches and less family violence
